This essay examines briefly Ronald Ross's research on malaria in India between 1895 and 1899, during which time he elucidated the role of the Anopheles mosquito in the transmission of the disease. During his crucial experimental work in 1898, he used birds, human malaria being relatively uncommon in Calcutta. This article is based largely on the correspondence between Ross and Patrick Manson, which has just been edited.
本文简要考察了罗纳德·罗斯在1895年至1899年间于印度开展的疟疾研究，在此期间他阐明了按蚊在该疾病传播中的作用。1898年他进行关键实验工作时，使用了鸟类，因为当时人类疟疾在加尔各答相对不常见。本文主要基于刚刚编辑完成的罗斯与帕特里克·曼森之间的通信。
